a local cafe sells chai-spiced cider and calls it "chaider". it sounds delicious but I don't know how to pronounce it! a) [tʃaɪɾɚ], with the vowel in "chai" b) [tʃʌɪɾɚ], with the Canadian-raised vowel in "cider"

The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Possible eggcorn spotted in the wild 🐦🐦

A sign is in the middle of a planted garden bed in front of a wrought iron fence. The egg corn at top reads: "GARDENS S E W N, MANAGED, AND SPONSORED BY:"

a small nit to pick, but you probably need to allow for the possibility of up to five groups. there are five rhyming groups for me (Midlands), /ul/, /u.əl/, /ʊl/, /o(ʊ)l/, and /ʌl/. I grouped /ul/ and /uəl/ together for the sake of finishing the survey.

Post, comments, iterate. hundreds of seemingly real comments on these, most of them incorporating some form of "amen"What I believe is actually happening here: The robots are set up to identify what content gets engagement, read FB auto-gen text description, & feed that into the generative AI.
